Great margaritas, great food!

by vik3slik at Citysearch

My girlfriend works here so I might be a little biased but Pure taqueria has very good food. I love mexican food and this is more upscale but still decent on the wallet.

For appetizers you have to try the Jaiba (crab friiters) they are sensational! You cant go wrong with any of the apps really . Same is true with all their main dishes. They make the best quesadillas! The menu is small and simple.

Their frozen margaritas are very very good. Strong too. I recommend pomegranite pr bannana.

Bottom line is Pure makes great food. I suggest going there for lunch or early dinner and trying it out.

• Pros: Best frozen margaritas in town by far, simple yet delicious
• Cons: expect a looong wait Fri / Sat night

Hmmm...

by MsMEOWgi at Citysearch

Let me start off by saying that I had been here previously during late afternoon hours and had a good experience. The food was pretty good, and the margaritas were too, as well as the service. I actually recommended it to friends. That visit was about a year and a half ago.

However, my boyfriend and I decided to go last weekend because he had never been there and our original dinner plans fell through. So we arrived around 6-ish on a Saturday night. I didn't know that they used valets at night, must have missed that one, but when we arrived there were a couple of parking spots open (with no road cone markers in them) and there were 3-4 guys outside to the edge of the parking lot by the other little outbuilding on the property, they were talking amongst themselves and did not flag us down or anything so we pulled into a parking space, backed out a little and pulled in to straighten the car, and were about to get out when one of them walks up to the car. His exact words were, "I don't mean to be an a$$hole but when we're here, we own the parking lot and I can't let you park here because it would be a liability for us, but you can just go ahead and give me your keys or you can go down the street and park and walk." This kid was a little arrogant and snotish about it. Not what I was expecting. My boyfriend basically smiled and said "well I guess we don't want to eat here" and we left. Needless to say, we went elsewhere and had a great time but I was really pi$$ed at first because I had been wanting to go back for a while and I don't live in that area so it's hard to get there, but after I came home and we started reading other reviews stating that the food and service has suffered significantly over the last year or so, I actually felt better about not going and spending our hard earned money there. I have worked in the service industry for many years, and I was appalled at how that valet kid acted with that ginormous chip on his shoulder. There are many, many restaurants in the area that have great food and great service and I would rather give them the business, than to give my business to an establishment that doesn't care that it is presenting an image to customers that it's a privilege to be there.

• Pros: Cool remodel of a gas station
• Cons: Attitudes

whats with all the hype

by brad the pimp at Citysearch

Well I gave this place a shot even after reading the reviews on city search. And the bad reviews were pretty accurate, food is not all that great, service is slack at best, prices were a little high for the quality I would expect from all the hype. I have found a better spot in the Roswell area, Rojo Taqueria. It has much better service and the drinks arre inexpensive and strooong to say the least. I would recommend anyone wanting great food and service and is in the area to stop by and enjoy yourself. Football on the weekends, trivia on thursday and just a good time everyday. Check out their website at rojotaqueriacom See you there

• Cons: everything you read is true
